Livia has the potential to become a dominant middle for the Yellowjackets.

She tripled her kill total from her freshman to sophomore years, jumping from 102 to 314, while also improving her hitting percentage to .329.

Her noticeable improvement over the summer suggests that the 6'1" athlete will be a formidable presence on the court.

Evaluations are normally subscriber-only but when an athlete subscribes, theirs becomes free for all readers. Subscribing doesn't change who the Scout covers, it changes who gets to see it.
